Alcast Permanent Mold Aluminum Foundry Aluminum Casting Processes
Today’s engineering landscape dictates that a manufacturer be diverse in its offerings to its customers. Not one aluminum casting process will suite every job. Because of this Alcast Company offers a variety of casting methods to suit the ever changing customer needs. The diversification in our offerings allows Alcast to handle any level of complexity along with any size project.
Our Permanent Mold aluminum foundry is a testament to that business model. Alcast offers three permanent mold casting processes. The ELECTRO-MAGNETIC, bottom fill, permanent mold aluminum casting process offers the option of a tranquil delivery system that produces structurally sound, virtually no porosity, high-quality aluminum castings to further meet our customers needs Aluminum Castings Company, an aluminum sand casting foundry are now subsidiaries of Alcast Company.
Mitchener Molding Machines
Our aluminum foundry utilizes the Mitchener Molding Machine, a proprietary electro-magnetic, low-pressure, bottom-fill permanent mold casting process, an exclusive technology that sets us apart from conventional aluminum foundries. At the core of this process are our electro-magnetic pumps, which precisely control metal flow, ensuring the highest levels of integrity in every casting.
Unlike traditional tilt-pour and static-pour methods, which introduce turbulence and oxide contamination, our electro-magnetic metal delivery system provides a smooth, controlled, and turbulence-free fill. This results in exceptionally low porosity, superior density, and a refined microstructure, all of which are critical for achieving high-integrity, leak-free castings.
Through electric melting, precise temperature regulation, and triple filtration, we further enhance metal purity, virtually eliminating oxide inclusions and gas entrapment. The combination of these process controls ensures exceptional dimensional stability, resistance to cracking, and enhanced mechanical properties, making our castings ideal for high-performance applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and industrial fluid systems.
By leveraging our automated and precisely controlled process, we guarantee repeatable, high-quality results, meeting the stringent engineering requirements of mission-critical components
